way
I've failed way more than I've succeeded.
responsibility thinking entrepreneur
I think a great entrepreneur is learning every day. An entrepreneur is somebody that doesn't take no for an answer - they're going to figure something out. They also take responsibility. They don't blame anybody else. And they're dreamers in one sense but they're also realistic and they take affordable steps when they can.
truth-is sells
Truth is the easiest thing to sell.
mistake bumps may
Learn as many mistakes and what not to do while your business or product is small. Don’t be in such a hurry to grow your brand. Make sure that you and the market can sustain any bumps that may occur down the road.
pioneers settlers
Pioneers get slaughtered, and the settlers prosper.
mistake trying levels
Try to make all the mistakes with your own money and on a small level so that when you are responsible for a partner’s money or assets you’ve learned and you don’t make bigger mistakes. Try to go as far as you can without anybody else’s help first.
good-life people effort
Poor people put a low value on themselves and their efforts.
dog dancing hot
It is very, very hard to do that ballroom dancing and I am going to be nowhere near it. Now if you have a hot dog eating contest, call me.
forever perception needs
The thing about branding is it isn't etched in stone. A brand is a mark or an image or a perception we stamp on a product, a concept or an ideal, but it doesn't last forever. Like anything else, it needs to be nurtured and reinforced, or it will start to fade.
thinking eggs perfect
The perfect breakfast is fish with grits and scrambled eggs with onions. I'm getting hungry thinking about that.
jobs homework rich
You don’t get rich off your day job, you get rich off your homework.
perfect making-time
It will never be a perfect time, you can only make time perfect.
reality ideas firsts
Everyone has an idea, but it’s taking those first steps toward turning that idea into a reality that are always the toughest.
moving taken next-week
The only thing that scares me in the tech area is that it moves so fast that you have to be ready to invest in 20 things. Because if you just invest in one, next week, somebody has a better mousetrap, and you get taken to the cleaners.
